Cannibal Reign

by Thomas Koloniar

A new star bursts onto the post-apocalyptic fiction scene: Thomas Koloniar. An epic dark saga set in a dystopian near-future, Cannibal Reign follows the fortunes of a small band of survivors, as they make their way across a nightmare landscape populated by bestial, flesh-eating savages after an asteroid strike destroys America. A dark, smart, action-packed vision of a terrifying possible tomorrow--when the only law left is "eat or be eaten"--Koloniar's Cannibal Reign is an absolute must-read for fans of TV's zombie smash hit The Walking Dead, Cormac McCarthy's The Road, Lucifer's Hammer, the Mad Max movies, and, of course, Stephen King's immortal horror masterwork The Stand.

Back Cover

First the asteroid would come, slamming into the earth just north of the Montana border, followed by earthquakes, tsunamis, and unending night. And after that . . . Hell. Astronomer Marty Chittenden is the first to recognize the approaching doom--a discovery that makes him a marked man. Green Beret Jack Forrest knows the catastrophe is inevitable, and begins stockpiling an abandoned missile silo with supplies while gathering together a small community of men, women, and children he prays can survive the apocalypse. Then disaster strikes. In an instant the world they know ends forever, transformed into a nightmare realm of eternal darkness. Soon the few remaining humans are transformed as well, becoming savage things--raping, pillaging, and devouring their own. And the time is approaching when Forrest and his people will have to leave their underground "Noah's Ark" to face a shattered world and the unspeakable terrors that dwell there--in desperate pursuit of one slim hope of survival . . . called Hawaii.

Review

"Very well written for a first novel and the basic concept definitely produces a page turner.

Recommended." -- SF Revu online magazine"Cannibal Reign is a scary, nonstop thrill ride into the dark hearts of man, shot through with the souls of those that refuse to surrender to the dark. I loved this book, and fans of post apocalyptic fiction and thrillers should not miss it!" -- My Bookish Ways, urban fantasy blog"You'll run the full gamut of emotions . . . the psychological implications are haunting.

" -- Journey of a Bookseller, review blog"A gripping story . . . a chilling, frightening tale that was hard to put down." -- Suzanne Johnson, Preternatura, speculative fiction blog"What makes Thomas Koloniar's superb thriller work is the focus is on good people trying to survive in bad times . . . this is an exhilarating tale of life before and after a NEO crash rivaling what happened to the dinosaurs." -- Alternative Worlds, sci-f/fantasy review site
